Happy Monday friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with tons of family time and a little bit of shopping- pretty perfect if you ask me!! I’m not sure how we got to the last day of July, but there’s lots to look forward to and I wanted to share a little life update, mixed in with some of the recent things we’ve been getting up to!
Eating || I shared my favorite summer dinner recipes and those are currently in rotation along with anything fresh and light. I’m also snacking on these delicious sunflower crunchy bites from Whole Foods and some cherry vanilla soda that G was randomly craving – so I stole some!
Watching || We flew through Friends from College on Netflix a few weekends ago! It touches on some pretty serious life issues, but does so in such a funny and witty manner – you’re unsure if you should laugh or cry, but it ends up being a combination of both!! We are also slowly making our way through VEEP on HBO – currently on season 4!
Reading || I’ve been having a hard time finishing books recently – nothing has been keeping my attention which is why I haven’t done a “Recently Read” post in quite some time, but I did just finish The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which was unlike any other Taylor Jenkins Reid book I’ve read! Full review coming soon!
Enjoying || We celebrated my sister’s birthday this past weekend with an incredible dinner at The Bancroft. My mom and dad are in town and it’s always nice when the whole family is together!
Wearing || My new slides! I scored these fun slides from Nordstrom Rack over the weekend and I’ve already worn them 3 times! They are definitely giving off those Gucci slide vibes and similar to the ones I shared in my designer dupes post.
Listening || I’m trying to get into listening to pod casts on my morning commute and The Everygirljust profiled a few of their favorites. Thinking of either this one or this one. Do you have any that you like listening to?
via
Planning || Our trip to Iceland! Yep, Gary and I are going to Iceland in October with two other couples and we can’t wait! Bring on the thermal springs and Icelandic horses!! I’m pretty excited for this adventure because we’ve never been anywhere remotely close in resemblance to Iceland!
Smelling || My sister found the most amazing perfume that doubles as an insect repellent, but it smells incredible! You can read about the founders on their website, but what I’m already loving about the fragrance is that Aromaflage is free of DEET, parabens and other chemicals. Oh and they were just featured on Oprah’s favorite things – you know it has to be good!
Thinking || How jam packed September is going to be! We are coordinating 3 weddings which means all the work really kicks into high gear the month before – bring on the coffee & wedding timelines!! I seriously can’t wait – it’s so much fun!
Doing my best not to get overwhelmed and just enjoy the last little bits of summer since I know how short lived it is here in New England! How was your weekend? Link up below to share!

Those sunflower bites sound delicious!!! And those slides were definitely a find – I totally thought they were Gucci! If you don't read DIY Playbook, you should check them out. They went to Iceland this summer and posted about it – may help with some of your planning!
Iceland!!! Oh I am so jealous! That is on my travel bucket list. I cannot wait to follow along during that trip 🙂
I kept debating whether to start Friends from College! I definitely will be watching it now! OMG–so awesome that you're going to Iceland! Steven and I were debating going there for his graduation gift next Spring!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!

You and your sister are gorgeous! It reminds me of my sister and I who are blonde and brunette…the birthday dinner looks amazing! Love the outfit with the new shiny slides! So great to have your parents in town and spend time with your close family! Enjoy the week ahead! xo Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
Iceland?? How fun B!!! That's going to be an amazing trip! I'm with you in the book dept- nothing has been finished for me in 2 months! But I just downloaded the Light We Lost for my trip to NYC next week and I'm excited to see what all the hype is about!
Enjoy Iceland. Loving your blog.

Yay for family time and how freaking awesome you and Gary are going to Iceland!!!!
Iceland, how fun!! And those oysters look delicious. I've been in a total reading rut lately, too, and. need to get back on it. I notice I sleep SO much better at night if I read a bit before bed.
That looks like the most delicious way to celebrate your sister's birthday, yum! I love the Lady Gang and The Skinny Confidential podcasts. Both are awesome!
Happy Birthday to your beautiful sister 🙂 Thant food looks delicious ! A trip to Iceland would be amazing. I can't wait to see photos and hear all about it. Happy Monday !
A perfume that repels bugs?? Sign me up!!! Love your Rack slides. So fun!!! I liked Evelyn Hugo, but very different from her other books. How exciting that you guys are going to Iceland!!!! Hope you have a great week!

I'm reading Seven Husbands right now and really enjoying it!
I need to get my hands on that perfume! I am forever getting mosquito bites! I love your new slides too! I grabbed a pair of metallic flats from the Nordstrom sale and have been wearing them a lot lately!

Those snacks and that bug repeller perfume sound amazing. And girl Iceland, I would die to go. Love your silver slides so much, they definitely give off Gucci vibes. Love the size of that LV bag. Which LV is that one?!
So glad you got to spend some time with your family over the weekend celebrating your sister's birthday! And your mom made a good choice with those metallic loafers, I love them! SO jealous of your Iceland trip too! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
I love the Simple Sophisticate podcast! The French Kissed Life is another favorite of mine!
I have that book on hold at the library – looking forward to reading your review of it! We had some friends visit Iceland last year & they LOVED it. I cannot wait to see all of your pictures! So neat!
What do you think of VEEP? Lots of people have been recommending it to me. I like the revisionist History podcasts, as well as This American Life!!
So many good things going on! Iceland, how fantastic!! You are gonna have so much fun. Happy Monday Pretty Lady.
You really have been busy lately, but it definitely sounds like the best kind of busy! I always love when the whole family can get together, especially for celebrations like birthdays. That's also so exciting about your trip to Iceland! I can't wait to hear all about your trip and what it's like! I hope that your Monday is off to a great start!
Iceland will be so much fun! One of my friends just got back from there and her pictures were amazing! I love Taylor Jenkins Reid and want to read her latest book so I'm curious to hear what you think of it!

That's so exciting that you are going to Iceland! We hope to go soon, so I can't wait to read about what you do there and see some gorgeous photos! I've never heard of the Friends From College show, but I'm looking for a new Netflix show, so I'll go check that one out.
Happy belated birthday to your sister! I'm sure you all had a beautiful time celebrating, that seafood platter looks delish! I LOVE those Somersaults snacks! I love both the chocolate and the sea salt, which I think you'd like too, so definitely find it a try. I need to try that drink, it looks delish and Eddie loves anything creamy, so it's a must try, thanks for sharing it! How cool that you'll be going to Iceland! From what I've seen (in photos) it's absolutely beautiful there, you'll have such a great time, especially since you'll be going eith 2 other couples! Thanks for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have a very Happy Monday!

That perfume as a bug spray? That's so interesting!!!
I'm DYING to get my hands on that book!!!
I am totally loving Friends from College. So funny. I also want to try that cherry cream soda. Looks soo good. Hope you have a great week!
Love life updates like this! We just finished a series so was looking for something new to binge on. Definitely looking into that new scent bc I need the repellent but can't use the traditional stuff. Those slides are adorable!
You guys are going to Iceland?! Girl, that is going to be soooo awesome! I can't wait to see some recaps!!
Omg almost got those slides from the rack too! Hope you got lots of goodies! Its the best sale ever! I love cream soda and that one looks yummy!

Ooo Iceland!! What a fun trip that sounds like! Those sunflower bites sound yummy!
Iceland would be so cool! Those sunflower bites sound really good. I'll have to track them down. I keep looking at that series on Netflix but I'm in the middle of The Office right now. I'll add it to the list though!
You and your sister are so pretty!!! your trip to Iceland is going to be amazing! My in-laws went in February to see the northern lights and loved it. Beautifully Candid
Love your slides! SO cute. I can't wait to hear more about your trip to Iceland!
The Seven Husbands of… has been on my TBR list so it's good to hear that its good.
Iceland.. oh I want to go.. my cousins were just there and I have been drooling over their pictures.
So much good stuff here Biana! Dying to try that perfume and will definitely be checking out those podcasts!

I freaking love VEEP.
Also loved Evelyn Hugo!
I was considering Iceland in March, still not sure about it.
Iceland will be SO cool- I can't wait to hear all about that! I haven't found any books to hold my attention lately, but I also seem to be getting sidetracked lately with a million things on my mind! Here's to Summer…enjoy every second 🙂
Ahhh so jealous youre going to Iceland! I heard its amazing! I cant wait to hear your book review! Ive been looking for a good book to read!

For podcasts, you must listen to Up and Vanished! Danielle of A Sequined Life recommended it to me- don't google it because its happening real time! But it's super interesting cold case of a missing woman in Georgia. I'm addicted! PS- love those slides!

That's awesome that your whole fam was able to get together! My aunt and uncle are in Iceland right now and my aunt is posting daily pics on facebook. I am SO jealous. It looks unreal!!
I LOVED the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I wasn't sold on Friends from College but I think you did a good job of summing it up.
I just recently started listening to podcasts and fell quickly for UP and Vanished. I did also find The Happiness Project and it has been an easy listen while grocery shopping and such. One of my friends took a trip to Iceland this summer….they rented the camper van and drove all the way around. It looked amazing!
You and your sister are both so gorgeous!! And oh my gosh Iceland, that is on my bucket list! I am super jealous!
We flew through Friends From College too– even though I couldn't decide if I actually liked it since everyone was so unlikable and made such bad choices, lol. That's such a good picture of you and your sister– it sounds like such a great time celebrating her birthday. Everyone I know who has been to Iceland has had the best time- definitely a dream location to visit1
How fun to have family time together! That snack looks so good and your trip sounds amazing!
